Schoolgirl chops off locks to help cancer toddler
The toddler, from Leith, is battling leukaemia for the third time in his short life and little Farrah Robb wanted to do something to help.
After teaming up with CCLASP charity, the Liberton Primary School pupil decided to cut off her long hair, and donate it to the Little Princess Trust – while raising money for children with cancer at the same time.

According to Farrah’s mum, Samantha, she had around 16 inches cut in total, and her hair now sits on her shoulders.
Samantha said: “She was really nervous before she got it done but now she’s just so happy she did it.
“She always wants to help people out and she follows Kai’s journey avidly.

Her mum said they were grateful for the donations that have flooded in from all over the world.
